Summary:
Annually, since 2002, The
Syndicate (www.LLTS.org)
hosts a gathering of its members
known as SyndCon. In
addition to hanging out with each
other, there is a charity raffle,
an Alienware sponsored LAN event,
tabletop gaming events and, of
course, game developer attendance.
Again this year, the
Portalarium team is attending
SyndCon. Starr Long will be
there during the August event to
discuss everything from PvP to the
Economy to Loot to Housing and
elicit feedback from the
attendees.

Summary: The
Penny Arcade eXpo Prime (PAX Prime)
is a gaming festival held in
Seattle. Other PAX festivals are
held in Boston, Melbourne and San
Antonio. PAX was created by Jerry
Holkins and Mike Krahulik, the
authors of the Penny Arcade
webcomic, because they wanted to
attend a show that gave equal
attention to console gamers,
computer gamers, and tabletop
gamers. Created in 2004, PAX
has been hailed as a celebration of
gamer culture.

Summary: Dragon
Con was founded in 1987 and takes
place once each year in Atlanta,
Georgia. As of 2012, the convention
draws attendance of 52,000, features
hundreds of guests, encompasses five
hotels in downtown Atlanta near
Centennial Olympic Park, and runs
thousands of hours of programming
for fans of science fiction,
fantasy, comic books, and other
elements of fan culture.
